    Ken Block is in Sweden ripping about in his new rallycross race car. This one isn’t powered by combustion though, as the FIA has a new series. It’s called World Rallycross Project E. Rallycross is going electric. In fact, it already has as the inaugural event kicked off at the Holjes circuit. There Ken drove…

    NASCAR at Daytona is something you may be used to seeing. But the NASCAR Xfinity series running on the Daytona road course? That’s a new one. And guess what? It was pretty awesome.

    It’s a favorite among my virtual teammates at TURN Racing Sim Tools eSports and it’s happening this weekend. The iRacing 24 Hours of Le Mans starts tomorrow at 9AM Eastern and we’re taking four pretend race cars to try and get the job done. It’s the closest we’ll get to the spectacle of Le Mans…

    It’s dubbed the SuperQuad, and the name is accurate. Although I’d also accept Insane-O-Machine or Batshit Bomber. This four-wheeled monster was once a Suzuki LT500R, but it’s now so much more. Every bit of it has been reworked and its original two-stroke motor was ditched in favor of the 1,000-cc engine from a GSX-R. That…

    It’s cool when race car drivers get into the same cars to test out their skills head-to-head. Remember when Michael Schumacher lost to NASCAR driver Carl Edwards at the ROC? That was a prideful moment for us Americans. What’s even more interesting is when two race car drivers get in each other’s cars. We get…

    Formula 1 teams will do pretty much anything to get an idea of what the other guys are doing. Sometimes they’ll ask drivers to sniff around competitors the cars on the grid. Other times they send engineers to each other’s garages with cameras. This outright espionage sometimes has humorous results. Race mechanics occasionally stand in…

    You have 525 competitors battling in the Nevada desert. The course is brutal. The vehicles are wildly capable. And the drivers excel at pushing themselves and their machines to the limit. And this is what The Mint 400 looks like, captured through the lens of the Mad Media team. This is Race Motion and it’s…
